Congratulations to Ben Sitler on being awarded 2nd place in the 2010 SEI Student Structural Design Competition.

Ben entered the competition on his own, against teams from around the US. He found the efficient work flow gained from using the Geometry Gym Rhino plug-ins gave him an advantage against teams.

Ben has been kind enough to permit me to show his Gridshell design for Jadwin Hall. These images are taken from his Thesis, Sitler, Ben. “Integrated Digital Design to Construction Workflow: from a structural engineer’s perspective.” Thesis, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ, 2010. Print.

About Me

I was born in Australia and raised on a farm near the coast in South West Victoria.
I studied a double degree in Structural Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Melbourne.
I joined Connell Wagner (now Aurecon) as a Graduate, and spent four years there working on Eureka Tower (300m tall), the 2006 Melbourne Cricket Ground Redevelopment and Wembley Stadium roof and arch.
In 2005, I decided to leave for London where I joined Expedition. A unique design firm with challenging and interesting projects. They introduced me to the wonderful software this is Rhino3d. Projects included Supreme Engineering Award recipients Infinity Bridge and 2012 Velodrome. This formed the basis and test platforms for developing the Geometry Gym BIM software.
